These games were developed (birthed in conversations and concept)at 42nd and Meade Avenue in San Diego by the good auspices of Ron Garst and Fritz Sands in the mid to late '70's. Inspired by Principia Discordia, Dr Bobs' Church of the Sub Genius, The Fire Sign Theatre, Grace Slick (See here two 1973 albums, on the Grunt label, "Baron Von Tolbooth and the Chrome Nun" and "Manhole") people tend to give the game far too much credit and often confuse the game and its' players and attributes with real life people and situations. We can only observe that people who mistake a game for real life are easy marks for unscrupulous abominations....although Mr Jackson might disagree, well 23 skidoo to you too.

Joined: 21 Apr 2005Posts: 534 The goal of the real illiminati is to control as many consortiums as possible. The goal of the game is to reveal how it's done. The resulting monopolies (nine, like the ennead) become the currency of exchange between the top competitors. The difference between the game, here, and real life, is that in the game version, no one gets killed.
